Well, I have discovered that there is nothing like building a good relationship and friendship. I hav a friend who works in one cable tv that has decided to help. I hav a friend also who works with frcn and he is ready to assist me with jingles and other radio advert strategies.

In due time, I wil start revealing some secrets of bulk sms marketing.

Good. What is the competitive pricing like? I want to be selling at 1 unit equals to 1 sms. What price is competitive? 1.30k? 1.40k? 1.50? 1.60k? 1.70k? 1.80?

I never clicked on any advert on nairaland, so I dont think NL ad converts.

Am looking at:
1. handbills
2. digital banners
3. stickers
4. radio
5. cable tv (like acbn)
6. word of mouth

Just offline stuff.

Thank you @sarutobi. What are the advert strategies one need to adopt?

If bulk sms business is really lucrative, how much are you making from it? What are the challenges you faced? How did you overcome the initial challenges?

This guy : smswazobia.com claims to be making 650k per month. He has more than 4000 registered users on his portal.

I have said it before that lhpay.net will not fly and make it with this kind of generic name. the lh means loaded host. So while use it. Loaded Host is not even an authority in web hosting industry. You should rebrand and change your name.
1. loadedpay.com
2. loadedpayments.com
3. payloaded.com
etc

Delete ur .htaccess (dont reupload it. it wil be created automatically). Reset ur permalinks to default. Save. Then Reset it to nice url and save. It wil be fine.

"Buhari was not the best at the convention, but we must support him. Some things are left unsaid." - Gov. Rochas Okorocha

Post link to a sample video. Seeing is believing.

• If you support PDP, you are paid to do so and apparently, a thief;
• But if you support APC, you are a patriot who is fighting for Nigeria
• If an APC governor award a km of road for N1.2billion, he is prudent and God sent
• If a PDP Governor awards same km of road for N500million, he is thief
• If Fani Kayode joins PDP, he is a bastard
• If Atiku Joins APC, he is a democrat
• If Jonathan Spends N7billion for his office per year, he is a criminal
• If Fashola spend same in a year, he is a saint
• If Akpabio approved N200million as pension, he must be stoned
• If fashola approves N300million for Tinubu, he is a change agent
• If you cancelled toll gates as a PDP government, you are an enemy of Progress;
• But if you build a road in Lagos, with taxpayers money and toll the road, you are a genius
• If you increase school fees as a PDP government, you must be crucified;
• If you do same as APC government, there must be a reason because education is not cheap anywhere in the world
• If you made your party Governors raise over N1billion for your chieftaincy title celebration in Niger State, you are a worthy leader;
• But if as a PDP leader, friends and associates donate gifts to your daughter's wedding, you are a cruel hardened criminal taking the people for a ride
• If you share Okada to the poor as a PDP, you are poor people's enemy;
• If you ban okada after the election as an APC government, you are only helping the poor to stay alive, so you mean well
• If you single handedly made your daughter a market women leader in APC state, it is for progress of the people;
• But if your wife is made a permanent secretary in your state by your state government of PDP, you are a greedy fellow
• If you spend $16billion on electricity without power and then support APC, you are a navigator;
• If you raised $500million through the unbundling of same power, you are clueless
• If you inaugurate the reconstruction of the busiest road in west Africa twice but failed to do anything, then support APC, the saboteurs must be at work, no one can blame you;
• But if you start the renovation of the same road within a year, but still in PDP, you are a deceitful person
• If you failed to pay your workers for months, but in APC, it is not your fault but someone up there;
• But if you failed to pay the workers for a month, and still in PDP, you are a wicked human being
• If you borrow $1billion in 3 years as a central government, you are big time criminal;
• But if you borrow same amount as a state government under APC, you are a forward thinker
• If you force your family, Inlaw and girlfriends as senators and lawmakers on the rest of your party members, you are progressive leader;
• But if you act like you don't care in PDP, you are a dullard
• Finally, if you tried to get a third term fraudulently by bribing the legislatures but failed, then support APC, you are a democrat and the father of the nation;
• If you try to get a constitutional second term in PDP, without their blessings, you are an ingrate and stupid.

In their time we had Halliburton Scandal, I.D card scandal, Siemens scandal, we had subsidy scam scandal, we have National stadium contract scandal, we had health budget financing scam, We had aviation sector scam, we had power sector scandal; how many people did he jail to prove he fought corruption? Rather, EFCC was his big stick against his perceived political enemies.
In their time we had a sitting Governor kidnapped by a thug working for the President. We had a whole region of the country rigged in Favour of his party. Morris Ibekwe, a wanted international fraudster won election under PDP. Those who stole Nigeria blind as PDP; Atiku, Obasanjo, Baraje, Saraki, Wammako, Kwakwanso, Amaechi, Oyinlola, Segun Oni, Okorocha, Ngige, Adeleke, El Rufai, etc, are today the same people financing APC and calling for "CHANGE".

Flash back to 1999, who were these people? Billionaires? They were nobody. Today, they spend billions and no one dare to ask a question. If you do, you are a enemy of progress.
They started with "New PDP", when that didn't fly. They joined a cult group called ACN to become APC. Same characters, with different name.

Some gullible Nigerians in their usual characters, started praising them as their messiahs!
Sometimes it is better not to be a Nigerian than to be a confused and ignorant one.

I just finished a small project now on freelancers.com and I was paid $250. I wanted to cash out and discovered that cashing out from Nigeria is almost impossible. Their requirements are big, which include having a Tax Identification Number (TIN).

Is there a way out of this?

If I tell you that this: www.letstouchlives.com is a scam website, you may not believe it. The guy is based in Onitsha. He asked me to do this website, I refused. He got someone else to do it. Check it. It has US address with phone number and an Abuja address with his phone number. He has a facebook page for it. This is a guy that cannot write his name properly and does not feed well, yet, he runs an international organisation called Let's Touch Lives International, which raises money and helps less privilege people in Africa.

Let me restate that www.mylgcharity.com is a fraud charity website. I have rejected jobs like this in the past. I can give you a link of a website owned by one guy that lives in Onitsha. The website has UK address. The website is all about charity works. They claim to be raising money for poor people in some african countries.

Here are questions:
1. Who is behind mylgcharity.com that has an office in UK and has links with local governments to raise money for poor people in nigeria, ghana and zambia?

2. Does local governments have more money than state and federal governments?

3. Is mylgcharity an NGO?

4. If yes, is it registered in UK, Nigeria, Ghana and Zambia in order to be able to operate in these countries?

5. What is the facebook page of mylgcharity?

6. Who are the board members?

7. Which agency or company or organisation is the parent of mylgcharity?

8. What are the Nigerian phone numbers of mylgcharity?

@pureguide, you just did your first scam website job. Forget the internati

i saw one of these spam comments on gtbank facebook page while reading a post. The guy asked people to visit this site: http://mtnbonuspromo.cf/ to claim there recharge bonus. As a webmaster and someone that knows it's a scam, I decided to open the site. I was asked to type in my promo PIN inside a text field. I just typed 2667. And the page reloaded and said congratulations {2667}. You have been approved to win so so amount of recharge bonus. I was then asked to quickly rush and buy an mtn recharge card of #200, #400, #750 or #1500 and then enter my phone number and the recharge PIN in text fields below so that mtn can credit my account with the bonus. I typed in: 08012345678 as my phone number and then typed 123456789012 as my #1500 mtn PIN. I clicked recharge, and the page reloaded and sent to loading.php where a gif image is booting with a message under it that says I should not refresh my browser and that I should wait for 6 hours so that mtn can process it. There is also a warning that my line will be blocked if I put wrong PIN five times.

Very funny.

The guys are not smart at all.

They can only dupe a f00l.
Reasons:
If it's MTN, the promo code must be authenticated.
If it's MTN, the promo recharge will not last up to 6 hours.

The guy just developed a phpsite with a mysql database and sits in his room grabbing the data from the back-end and recharging his phone. Very funny.

APC has been consistent in saying that PDP has ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in which corruption, impunity, insurgency, armed robbery and several ills of society held sway. But at a very close look at the APC, I am seeing:

1. Rotimi Amaechi – 8 years speaker; 7 years Governor under PDP.

2. Atiku Abubakar – 8 years Vice presidentunder PDP. 3. George Akume – 8 years Governor under PDP.

4. Bukola Saraki – 8 years Governor; 2 years,Senator under PDP.

5. Timipre Sylver – 4 years Governor under PDP.

6. Audu Ogbe – 2 years Chairmanship of the PDP.

7. Aminu Masari – 4 years as the Speaker, House of Representatives under PDP.

8. Chris Ngige – 3 years Governor under PDP.

9. Rabiu Kwankwaso – 7 years Governor; 3 years Defense minister under PDP.

10. Nasir El-Rufai – 4 years FCT Minister; 2 years BPE chairman under PDP.

11. And to cap it all, Obasanjo is the navigator of the APC, a man who spent 8 of the
disastrous 16 years as the maximum ruler of Nigeria. It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP, where the people who created and perpetuated the 16 disastrous years are now dumped. So where is the change coming from? Are they now saints because they joined APC?

I can authoritatively tell u that mylgcharity.com is a fraud. I dont speak with doubts. It's only a recognized NGO Foundation that can run a charity whatever. Some charlatans cannot buy a domain and host it and design it with pictures of hungry children just to get individuals and corporate organisations to invest in them for their alleged charity works. Fraudsters. Pure scammers. @pureguide, ar u a learner? You even rejoiced that he called with a UK number. Na today? That guy who lives next door to u can call u with his mtn number now and what you will see will be +44712345678 instead of 080312345678.

The owner isnt based in UK. He's a Nigerian and based in Nigeria. He called you will a coded nigerian number that wil appear as UK number. He's a 419er. The charity stuff is a fraud.

How does it work? How can one apply for his advert to show on yahoomail background?

Maybe the font changer extension you installed is only compatible for 2.5. Before you install any extension, make sure you see a tiny button with 3.x before you install. So search more in the extension directory.

Again, you can handcode the font you want by getting a font on google fonts and paste the link in the head of your index.php or paste it at the top of your custom.css, then use it to override the default fonts.

Anything webhosting outside:
siteground.com
stablehost.com
domain.com
then count me out.

Soon, I will start a post on Step-by-Step Guide of how to start and market a bulk sms business. The tutorial will cover strategies I adopted that have made me to succeed to become finacially independent for life.

I dont believe in hoarding information. When you succeed, I have succeeded. I have a copy of the 80 million gsm numbers that most bulk sms guys are selling. I will upload the zip file soon for free. I dont use them.

I have emails and phone numbers of top companies in Nigeria given to me by a friend banker who is the head of marketing in one of the new generation banks.

I will teach proven tricks and strategies of marketing a bulk sms business.

I will show people how to get direct API from companies like infobip.

I dont want to use Voguepay. I want to use any of the banks.

If you have done it, then good and better.

I dont charge because of time spent. I charge based on the knowledge unleashed.

It's a prophecy!
It's a fact!
It's a reality!

Transfer #1000 mtn card to me and I will remove that index.php from your url.

I have read the full text and watched video of Rev. Fr. Mbaka's recent sermon.

The sermon, which was a direct attack on our dear President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Let me make it categorically clear that Fr. Mbaka spoke like any other human beign and he is as a matter of fact just a Nigerian. He did not speak the mind of God. He spoke out of sentiments. His sermon will not make Nigerians to vote for a former Dictator who cannot articulate words properly and who lacks brilliance, competence and who is very poor in leadership and out of touch with modern realities of life and governance.

Fr. Mbaka blamed GEJ for everything bad thing happening in Nigeria. Yet, this is a man that came in as the president and met a collapsed Nigeria. GEJ met a collapsed power sector. He met a railway comatose corporation. He met a messed up economy. He met decayed infrastructure. Today, in less than eight years, GEJ has recorded some landmark achievements.

Note: If you know Fr. Mbaka's very well, you will not take him serious.

@CreativeWeb. Honestly a public forum like this is not the best place to
reveal such information.

INFOBIP really remains one of the MOST reliable Providers though their
rates are not really cheap. I discourage people who want absolute
delivery from patronising the Indians.[/quote]Infobip is not an Indian company. It's from Netherlands. I use them and it's cheap. As ur traffic increases, ur price decreases. You can get as cheap at #1.20k to #135k per sms.

Check my latest post to see 20 bulk sms apis u can use. cheers.

Go on and contact all of them. Tell them that you have a bulk sms portal already and that you want to use their API. Tell them that you are a reseller and that you need a price that will enable you sell to end users and sub-resellers. Tell them your estimated monthly traffic. Enjoy.

Which bulk sms API are you using on kudisms.net?

no comment?

Minus online payment integration, is there any other strong reason why i should not choose jeema above spc? I think spc just copied jeema. and jeema seems to be more reliable and robust.
